I am in state, looking to apply this fall to OSU for Forestry, Fisheries, and Wildlife.
I have been involved with conservation organizations as a volunteer and have taken a leadership role in a one on the national level.
I compete in FFA CDE’s, placing well, and also Science Olympiad medalling at state, if this will help. I do other extracurriculars including Academic Challenge (trivia team) and founded a Trout-In-The-Classroom program at my school.

Specifically interested in Forestry, and have won scholarships in this area through a summer camp from this college.

ACT 29 (taking again next week, wish me luck)
GPA 3.53 Unweighted (3.89 Weighted)
Class Rank top 25%.
AP’s: AP Biology(), AP English Language and Composition(), AP Government (), APES(), APUSH(4)
Took two college courses so far (Kent State Introduction to Watershed Studies, OSU Stone Lab Intro to Aquatic Biology), got A’s, and taking two more this summer.

I’ve been told this all looks fine and dandy… what do y’all think?

Also interested in SUNY-ESF and WVU. OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS

You are most likely going to get into OSU based on what you told us. You are academically good in test scores and all that, (A’s in college courses are big pluses) and you have shown strong EC involvement.
ESF has a similar (slightly higher) admit rare and WVU has a significantly higher admit rate, so you should be able to get into those schools as well.

If you’re looking for more schools to consider (not saying you have to apply but that they’re worth a quick look to see if you’re interested): Purdue, UIUC, Texas A&M, Iowa State, Tennessee Knoxville. I’m not involved in agriculture, so take these school recommendations with a grain of salt.

I’d like to amend my previous comment: OSU is getting more competitive so definitely try to raise your ACT score, but you are still in good shape nevertheless.
